Scott McIntyre began reading music from about the age of 4, playing
trumpet, piano, violin, viola, clarinet and French horn. Between 1988-90 he
studied at the Victorian College of the Arts in orchestral performance before
undertaking composition studies with Brenton Broadstock at the University of
Melbourne, graduating in 1993 with a Bachelor of Music.
In 1991 he received a Highest Commendation in the Paul Lowin Orchestral
Award for his Symphony No.1. In the same year saw the performances of
his Even the Sea for Narrator and Chamber Orchestra and his Symphony
No.2 for Chamber Orchestra.
He attended the National Orchestral Composers School in 1993; the
Adelaide Symphony Orchestra performing Infinity Has No God under the
direction of David Porcelijn.
He has worked as a writer/producer for
the Melbourne electronic outfit PSX
which employed both dance music and orchestral influences and in 1998
performed an electro/acoustic work, Hybrid Intelligence for 11 improvised
performers and live electronics at the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
He has also worked for many local composers both as an
orchestrator/arranger and copyist, such as Chong Lim (Opening Ceremony
of the Sydney 2000 Olympics and Special Olympic Games) and for Allan
Zavod as assistant orchestrator on his Concerto for Jazz Trombone and
Orchestra written for James Morrison. In 2003/4 he orchestrated the new
Australian musical, Rebecca-The Musical, composed by Kevin Purcell.
He has also worked in film; in 2004 he scored the short film Atomic Spitballs,
which has received numerous awards including Best International Short Film
at the 2005 Tromafling in Edinburgh.
Scott is interested in the planned detail and development of melody and
harmonies to create
a modern polyphony that fuses his interest in medieval
music through to orchestral music of the 20th and 21st Centuries.
In 2006 he completed his Concerto for Violin and Orchestra and is currently
working on a score for a feature film Damned By Dawn, and his Symphony
No.3.
